Original private '77 press out of Somerville, Massachusetts although recorded a year or two earlier, trumpeter Stanton Davis assembles a whacked-out melting pot of good grooves here touching a variety of bases. A pretty good listen right through.

Thankyou. This sounds like all those things you said, yet at the same time it sounds unique. I keep saying things like "the headhunters meet eddie henderson at a funkadelic party" but nothing easily summarises it. I like this a lot.

this is a monster lp. A definite melting pot, like you said, but the dominant sound has always reminded me a little of the Mizell Bros' crazier moments with Johnny Hammond. "Play Sleep" has always been the cut for me. Thanks for posting this!

I picked it up a while ago - I never comment before listening - and forgot to come back and say Thanks.Amazing album but a lot of those seventies spiritual cum funk jazz albums were amazing. I just wish people would be that creative and adventurous again.Cheers
